Gold dipped sentiment

Hi All,

it has been a while since my last post, but things have been a little crazy around here with me being really REALLY sick, and then my little girl catching it the following week (and her first ever treatment with anti-biotics *sniff*). And all this while I was in the early stages of pregnancy. And to top it all off, I heard on Tuesday that my latest scans showed that little bubby had no heartbeat. I guess it was all too much for our little angel to bear. I was 9 weeks along.

So, I've taken the rest of the week off to relax and come to grips with everything. I am doing well (so far…), and am grateful for all the women before me who have been open enough to relate their experiences with miscarriage. I am so grateful to know I am not alone. It's not an easy thing to talk about, but I think its important. Especially since we've just observed Pregnancy and Infant Loss Day on October 15.

Still, if there was ever a day for papercraft therapy, today would be it, don't you think? And so thats what I did :) It did relax me and cheer me up somewhat.

About 3 hours after I told her my sad news, I received a bunch of 12 long stemmed pink roses from my bestie Denise…So I think I'll send her this card.



I embossed a rectangle stitched frame die by Lil Inker's Designs into a white panel. I then die cut the word 'thanks' out of some watercoloured paper that I coloured with Distress Markers and spritzed with a spray bottle. I then dipped the bottom half of the word in Versamark and heat embossed it in gold

I am entering these cards into two challenges. The Virginia's View CAS challenge and PTI's Gold tipped die cuts MIM challenge

I hope you likey! Until next time

  7. Oh, Preeya. I came here to laugh a bit with you because I think your comment to my card on FB was even funnier than the card itself... my husband and I already laughed until we cried with the "bovine" comment :).
    I'm very sorry to hear the sad news about your loss. Sending love your way in this difficult moment.
    Your card is gorgeous and I'm sure your friend will be very happy receiving it.

    1. Aw, thank you Cris…I am so glad that 'bovine' comment made you laugh and not just roll your eyes! I was sure it was too cheesy, but as I said- I just couldn't help myself! What a great card it was though, Cris. I loved it! You are very talented :) And thank you for your words of comfort. I am doing better each day. xo
